Jeremiah 5:12 Context
10¶ Goe yee vp vpon her walles, and destroy, but make not a full ende: take away her battlements, for they are not the Lords. 11For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord. 12They haue belyed the Lord, and said; It is not he, neither shall euill come vpon vs, neither shal we see sword nor famine. 13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done vnto them. 14Wherfore thus saith the Lord God of Hostes; Because yee speake this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth, fire, and this people wood, and it shall deuoure them.
